I'm actually kinda surprised you got this Vader around the same time I did. It's so impressive, most impressive in person. He really could use a Meditation Chamber environment. Also, after having him displayed for a couple months, he went back in the box this morning, until I get a proper clear cover for him!
Dude! The way you posed Vader kneeling down with the trooper base is GENIOUS! Great review and I’m convinced in picking this Vader up as soon as I can. I’ve been holding off for whenever they get around to make a ROTJ version but I know that I’ll probably display that version with the unmasked sculpt so I do need this Empire version since he’ll have the helmet on. And that base is dope too so it’s a all around win! Great review as always bro 😎
I got it a few days ago and was shocked by how enormous it is! And honestly the only thing that I disliked about the figure is the fact that it doesn’t come with any neutral hands. I’d like the option to pose him just standing but I can’t
I have the non-40th Anniversary version, love the thing, it is amazing in person and I have it prominently displayed with the cool Empire base in my Detolf.
Hot Toys needs to come out with two more figures to complete the Anakin/Vader timeline: 1) a child Anakin, from Phantom Menace, and 2) Return of the Jedi Vader with a maskless headsculpt. Vader in the Bacta tank would the whipped cream and cherry on top.
I just secured him with a flexpay layaway, super excited. I adore your channel, you deserve much more attention. Finding high quality channels dedicated to my same hobby is always such a treat, genuinely thank you!
It’s interesting that hot toys use like an almost chrome silver to checkerboard the face (vs a flatter silver) because those surfaces tend to disappear in shadow.... Also excellent review....! I have ESB Vader already but now I’m tempted to get the 40th anniversary
Hey hi Ryan, My Darth Vader figure just arrived yesterday this being my first Vader figure! I also bought two Storm Troopers for effect to pose with him...I agree with you, this is an absolutely an awesome figure!... Love the excellent quality of your reviews!! Thank you, Sir, much appreciated...Cheers Mate!
What’s your take on the possibility of the pleather flaking? Some say to coat it with silicon spray to preserve it. These are expensive figures amd I always worry about the pleather dissolving. My hasbros and Medicom 1/6 have already deteriorated.
Great video Jedha, I have Empire version and I love it, even tho I had problems with entire helmet getting un·glued out of the box, gotta love that hot toys glue hehe. Wish you did more poses at the end of your videos. Hope you give us some info on that custom cape cause that can be sick and I would love to pick one up as well.
Awesome review. You got Qui Gon coming in? I remember a few months back in a news update you were excited for it releasing in Hong Kong but didn’t hear you mention him at the end as a future review.
Mine arrived today and the only annoying thing pissing me off is trying to click the electric lightsaber arm into place as its hard to see what you're doing as the leather on the arm does not come with a mini zip like the kylo ren hot toy arm piece does so you can unzip it and see what you're doing. STILL trying to click the arm in 4 hours later
Hello guys i have a question. I live in Germany and here its pretty hard to get a good Hot Toys Figure for a good price. My question is, can i ship a figure from the US to Germany and how much money i have to pay for the shipping? Beforehand thanks for the answer.
The only thing that looks odd to me is that the belt is riding to high on the waist. It looks a bit odd. I would say slide the belt down a bit. Not sure if it rode high in the movie though.
Need damn another emperor 40 years anniversary. Because price for previous one is to damn expensive. I missed it :P But i got 1/4 Vader, now need HT 1/4 emperor.
Hi guys, could do with some help... not bought a hot toys figure before, but interested in getting one this year. Firstly I’m not sure whether to get Vader now, or wait for Rex to come into stock April/June? Also, if I was to go with Rex, is there a guarantee I’ll get the figure when it comes into stock? Or is there chance it could get pushed back due to me preordering late. Thanks in advance :)
What custom cape did you get? I’d like one too but they guys I know make them do not currently have any plans for a Vader cape. Also, is it safe to remove the head? It says in the instructions to not do it or it might get damaged.
An absolute beaut of a fig luv the ESB Vader best one yet, hopefully hot toys make a return of the Jedi version where you can remove the whole helmet! Only pain is the on this esb Vader is the helmet falls off to easy
I was hoping he would put it on so we could see what it looked like (even though he doesnt like using them ) it is a review right ? should show everything ;)
The batteries are a nightmare to get into the arm. It looks good lit up but I decided to stick with the no light up saber, to save messing when changing poses
@@carlosalcazar1192 I'm not sure about ROTS, but in the original trilogy there were subtle differences in his costume in each film. Compared to A New Hope, the ESB figure has a shiny helmet and silver highlights on his mask, and his robes are under his shoulder armor, as well as some subtle differences in the shoulder armor and chest panel. Probably, for most collector these differences aren't enough to warrant more than one figure, but there are fans who will want every iteration of the character.
@@JedhaPatrol Thanks. The hood on mine will not come that far forward, so its not movie accurate. Drives me crazy. The material is bunched up in the back and sewn in place - thinking of cutting it loose.
The difference will be that for the ROTJ he will be fully unmasked as opposed to this one which only showed the back of his in the film. But there aren’t any suit differences
Wes Gibbins personally I’m ok with missing that one, as great as it looks. I would have totally regretted missing out on the OG Mando. It’s going to be more iconic.
Bro I got both within the same week, and I recommend doing everything in your power to get both NOW! The original Mandalorian is such a fantastic figure, as well as the Solo Maul, it has great articulation even though it looks like it won’t from the cloth 😀
Hi i dont have any darth vader of hot toys so i want to buy one can you tell me which one is the best version dath vader in hot toys so i can buy it pls pls i need a help 😭
I have had 3 1/6 Hot Toys Darth Vader's. My favourite is this one. I think that the proportions are great, I like that you can remove the helmet and see his scarred head and the base is brilliant. The other Vader's suffer from either having too padded a body or the the mask/helmet being slightly too big which can give the figure a bobble headed look.
